Nice of you to shout out smaller creators like SmallAnt and PointCrow.

"You became champion! What did you learn in the process?" "Literally nothing."

“I grab six trash bags and bring them to the amusement park!”

I like that you showed the process of trying tactics that didn't work at first. Using struggle yourself seems like the obvious thing to do at first, but this made it immediately clear how stalling your opponent to struggle was a far better early strategy

This is a really fun idea for a challenge. I was expecting you to just hack the game to remove experience game, but no! You actually managed to use recoil and explosions to never gain EXP on a vanilla copy of the game. So cool!
I bet that zero people have had your exact elite four team.

Hugh was the whole time thinking "what the fuck is this girl doing!?"

Without watching, I am expecting to see a "struggle", and this challenge will have an "explosive" finish.
Edit: I finished the video. I was correct, and the video is peak

I have a fun challenge for you: the Truant Challenge.
Either mod the games so that all of your Pokemon have Truant as an ability or - what I think would be so much fun - use every other turn to throw a pokeball at the enemy. That way you‘ll lose a turn and money too, so especially early game will be an additional challenge with ressource management

Wake up babe, Rylockes dropped another banger!!

Your challenges never stop impressing me. I also love that you narrate instead of just posting stream highlights

I think Curse and Aftermath could be really interesting for a run like this

31:28 Ho! You have a high level, thought out team? Well (explosion)

The fiction of this trainer is crazy, he is known for constantly catching new pokemon and then forcing them to explode over and over again, never once letting them learn anything

I say this not having done research into availability in gen 5, but theoretically perish song could very easily bypass any difficulty getting every Pokémon on the field to faint at once. Regardless, great video!

Fun fact: In Pokemon black and white you can naturally do it if Pokemon thinks you pirated the game, it’s sort of a way to softlock but most players just took it as a challenge

22:03 Technically it’s based off NYC and the NYC metro area, which does actually have a pretty great public transit system.

These videos are some of my absolute favorites on YT. The amount of planning and strategy that has to go into it before even booting up the game is crazy. This dude deserves waaaaay more subs.

Emolga: You traded me away, but in the end, where did that get you? Back to me

A fantastic successor to the "Can You Beat Pokemon XY Without Ever Using a Move?" video. Unlike that one, I don't think the challenge restrictions lock you in to any particular game (other than that it must be gen 1-5), so I assume you just chose White 2 because it was the last candidate and had the most variety in gameplay mechanics.

Other than rotation battles, I can think of only one thing that might make any of the gen 1-5 games impossible: the Gastly line in gen 1. They are immune to all 3 regular recoil moves (Take Down, Double-Edge, Submission), and both self-destructing moves (Selfdestruct and Explosion). In generation 1 only, struggle deals normal-type damage and can't hurt them. In generation 1 only, opponents have infinite PP and will never use struggle. They are immune to poison. They can be affected by burn, but "In Generations I and II, burn damage is applied after the Pokémon takes its turn, but is skipped if the opponent faints during that turn". Unless I'm missing something, it is completely impossible to KO them.

I think every game from GSC to BW1 should be possible though, since struggle is always an option - unless there are any double battles that put you in unwinnable pins, or areas without enough resources to make a winning team, but I doubt that. By the way, poison is probably the one major strat that you ended up not using at all in this run, most games give you access to an early route poisoner, BW2 seems usual in not doing so...

So good to see a new upload! Great job on this one!
